Hi!
I need to order rubber seals, etc. to rebuild the front calipers on my 2000 Tourer.
However the parts fiche at different vendors is confusing (to me it is...).
Part #10 in the following pic shows the rubber boot that slips over pin #11.

However the description for part #10 is: pin bolt ...
Either the part # is wrong ... or the description ...  :-\
Which is which? TIA!
I still have a full deck.
I just shuffle slower ...

Part number 12.  At least it looks like that to me.

Sorry, part #12 slips over part #9.
The one I'm talking about slips over part #11, and is much smaller than the other one. Both of these are very different (I've rebuilt a few of these calipers, and know the parts. It's the pat numbers vs the description that is confusing for #10).
Why call it a pin bolt when it is a rubber part? I guess I'll need to order both parts. Otherwise I may end up not finishing the job because of their %$?& description screw up.
Thanks!

It sure does! Thank you!
So now ... should I order the 45132-166-016 that you have in hand, or the 45131-166-016 that is shown in the parts fiche for a 2000 Tourer?

Ok, I grabbed both parts and it looks the part # 10 and #11 are backwards on all the fiche.   45131-166-016 is the steel pin as seen here


The brake parts are the same for all models except the rear brake pads are different  between IS and STD.

In summary, if you need the rubber piece its 45132-166-016, bush, pin- which is a better description.  Same part IS vs STD.

I hate it when they mess the fiche's up.

No, I don't have a complete parts locker here ;D , I order a years worth of maintenance part from HDL to get the free shipping and pick it up at a maildrop in the US.  Last time I changed the rear brake pads, I noticed some pitting on the pins and ordered parts so I can do a rebuild next time I change the pads.

Ride safe.

You have saved me from ordering the wrong part.  :cooldude:

I usually hoard all of my maintenance parts but got caught this time. While trying to change the front pads, I realized that one of the caliper hanger pins (#16) was frozen solid (although I always put antiseize on these threads). Long story short ... placed caliper in a vise and heated with torch. Nothing accomplished other than burning the seals, etc ...   :(
I then drilled through the head of the pin before using an easy out to remove it. What a PIA LOL!!!
Thanks!
